The fact that Governor Van Sant has announced that he is for Moses E. Clapp for the senate has called forth many comments from the state press, especially those papers which are against him. The Faribault Journal says there was no occasion for the statement and seeks to explain it as follows: "Possibly the desirabilty of so curing tae senator's co-opera tion in other plans may have had something- to do with the warm expressions of appreciations which are at present coming from such unexpected quarters. "Nor is there any reason why the governor should think it would embarrass him to make a public pledge so long before the occasion for it. The time for the election of a senator is still'a long ways off and things may transpire which may change the whole situation. In such an event the governor would scarcely be expected to regard seriously pledges made now. He is gener ally believed to have forgotten others which were quite as dis tinct when he thought it neces sary to do so. The public inter est is doubtless the governor's first consideration, and if at any time it seemed to demand the sacrifice of General Olapp we should anticipate that the state's executive would bow gracefully fcp the inevitable," The Stillwater Messenger say3: "Governor Van Sant kindly notifies the public that he will not be a candidate for the United States senate, but will cordially ,ayor the re-election of Senator Clapp. MosGs is a good man to tie to, and the next legislature wll do what the majority of the people in this state desire if they give him another term at Wash ington." many Favor Universal Language.

Charles Morton of Bardstown, Ky., Is the proud possessor of a razor that is something over 150 years old, but is ha a splendid state of preservation, and is far superior to the razors of modern times.

Arid Consequently Did Not Need Flr*1 Floor Rooms. American pushfulness is an unlim ited quantity. The women are as ir repressible in society as the men iy commerce. A certain visitor to th Riviera found'this out recently. He was occupying first floor rooms at a well-known hotel. An of a sudden, without any introduction or prelim inary, a note was brought to him signed by the wife of a well-known American millionaire. It asked him wheuer he would object to giving up his rooms to her niece. He was much amazed, but wrote back inquiring whether the niece drank. Mrs. wrote in reply, in surprise and indig nation, winding up with an emphatic statement that her niece did not drink. Lord concluded with the following note: "Lord re grets that ho cannot give up his first floor rooms to Mrs. 's niece, for he is convinced that, as the young lady does not drink, it is very much easier for her to get. up stairs than it is for Lord ."--London Tat ler. A NEW BOILED DINNER Little One's Astonishment Natural Un der the Circumstances. "I have a little niece," said the ra conteur of the Sewing Circle, '-who is never so happy as when she is al lowed to visit the kitchen and watch the servants at work. Fortunately, who rather enjoy having the child around, so many are the charmed hours which Jessie spends downstairs making little pies under the cook's superintendence,, and pretending she is 'grown up.' 'The other day she descended to the laundry to oversee the family wash in I her busy little way.

Among the best portraits in the' white house previous to the recent "renovation" was that of Mrs. Benja min Harrison by Daniel Huntington, for many years America's foremost portrait painter. In the "restoration" this portrait has been rehung to suit some modern interpretation of the alleged original plan of the mansion by George Washington. In doing this the paint has been scratched and scraped and in some important spaces has been knocked off entirely. Worse than this, a hole about three inches Jong has been punched in th canvas. 1 PIONEER HARNESS SHOP I recently purchased the shop and have greatly replenished the stock, which is the most complete in the county.

The progress of Russia is like the spreading of ink over blotting paper. There is no natural barrier in Persia to throw her lark or head her off, such as the mountainous frontier of India. But the prospect of Russian absorption of Persia is not practical politics to-day. Neither is it practical polities nor healthy patriotism to hound on Great Britain to occupy, finance, protect or claim rights In every country which lies upon her road to India or Africa or America or the South Seas. Such a policy is mere ly suicidal. We can barely govern efficiently our present possessions. Fresh large responsibilities in Persia, In China and ultimately in Turkey would simply wcish us down to the gunwale and finally sink us.London Chronicle. FAD OF A FAMOUS JACKDAW. Bird Took Trips on Buses and Gave His Foes a Tongue Lashing. The Brixton jackdaw, which was found dead recently in the bar of the Angell Arms at Brixton, London, was a great celebrity in his own way. All jackdaws have fads of their own, and the favorite fad of this particular bird was to travel all over London on omni I buses, trains and cabs..

The game of billiards has grown in popularity of late with the fair sex. According to Shakespeare, Cleopatra played billiards with her favorite, Charmion, in the year 30 B. C. At present the best women players are the French, who frequent professional games and eagerly follow the billiard news of the day. Patti is fond of the game and had a table made in this country to take to her Welsh castle, for which she paid $2,500. Among American billiard players of repute are Mrs. George Gould, Mrs. Edwin Gould, Mrs. Almeric Paget, Mrs. Burke-Roche and Lillian Russell.

Mrs. Bowen, wife of our minister to Venezuela, talks very entertainingly of the Venezuelans, whom she de scribes as models of domestic virtue. Many are also very beautiful, but they go out very little in .public, being of. Spanish descent. Mrs. Bowen, who is slight in figure and of girlish man ners, was a Miss Clegg of Galveston, Tex. She is fond of pets, and* among the unusual ones entertained at the legation in Caracas are several par rots, a fine peacock and some monkeys which are allowed to roam at will in the garden. The Deacon's Climax. "Yes," said Deacon Stuckup, "the works of Providence are manifold. The omnipotence of the Almighty is seen in all things, great and small, high and low. The good Lord who made the great mountains made the smallest insect that crawls over them the good Lord who made the mighty ocean made the smallest fish that swims in it the good Lord who made man, the greatest of His works, made the smallest flower of the field.
